Holidays are meant for relaxation, adventure, and making memories – but sometimes, the heart just aches for the one left behind. For one family, that "one" happened to be their beloved pet dog, and their reaction has the internet both laughing and tearing up at the same time.
In a now-viral video shared by @benranaway, the family can be seen crying while talking about how much they miss their furry best friend during their trip. What makes it so wholesome – and equally hilarious – is how dramatically each family member expressed their emotions, proving just how deep the bond between humans and pets can be.
Viewers quickly related, flooding the comments with their own stories of missing pets while away from home. Many admitted they would have reacted the same way, with one person joking, "Forget the beach, I'd rather be home cuddling my dog!"
While some people might think of a vacation as a break from routine, pet owners know that leaving behind a four-legged family member never feels easy. If anything, this viral clip reminds us that pets aren't "just animals" – they're family.
And lets be honest: if you've ever left your dog behind while traveling, you probably cried a little too.
